In InDesign the user can switch between high resolution and low resolution when working with images embedded in the document. An asset inserted from the DAM is by default in low resolution to prevent lags caused by the use of large files. In other words, low resolution is meant to be used in work-in-progress documents.
Once the user has finished working on the document, it is advisable to switch to high resolution for the best quality for publishing and printing purposes.
In order to have the access to the selection of image quality, the user needs to add "Digizuite" column to the "Links" section. This can be done by selecting "Panel Options" from the menu in the "Link" panel.
